Question
Find the roots
p1=−522,p2=522
Alternative Form
p1≈−23.452079,p2≈23.452079
Evaluate
p2−550
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
p2−550=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
p2=0+550
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
p2=550
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
p=±550
Simplify the expression
